Winnipeg Jets

On January 11th, 2015 the Anaheim Ducks held a “Teemu Tribute Night” vs. the Winnipeg Jets at Honda Cente in Anaheim, CA. The special evening included a ceremony and the raising of Selanne’s #8 jersey to the rafters at Honda Center. As another way to honor The Finnish Flash, the Ducks and Jets surprised Teemu by donning various Selanne jerseys over the course of his illustrious NHL career during pregame warm ups. The entire Winnipeg Jets team wore matching jerseys based on the 1992-93 Winnipeg Jets jersey which was worn by Teemu during his rookie season in the NHL. These jerseys being auctioned were issued to the players and not worn during warm up. As an added bonus, Teemu Selanne autographed each of the issued jerseys that night. All proceeds from the auction will benefit the Winnipeg Jets True North Foundation.
